Many people say, "Work hard and follow your passions."
But, what happens if you are not free to work?

Anyone who cares about the future economic growth of the US should watch it. And admission officers might think about showing it to all the international students they are showering with glossy brochures and promises of great things to come in their future.

With this many problems facing both domestic and international students, there is a need to take action. Julide Etem’s film is an example of how we can raise awareness of these issues of higher education. If you could, show some support for the film.

Will Work For Words is very original.

"What a slick presentation--you're certainly off to a good start!"
Brian Carr


"A documentary that explores the economically beneficial impact that international students have on our country."
by an economist


"Everyone needs to see this! Not just such great work by Jülide Etem, but also a wake-up call for immigration policy makers in this country."
by someone in the finance industry

"Promote Jülide Etem's recent efforts in changing US visa policy for intl. students"
by a researcher at one of the top business schools in the US


"I do think you are shedding light on an important topic that is pertinent to all international students. Some Americans may assail the idea of hiring international workers for US jobs as it can lead to more competition and loss of jobs for US workers. But undertaking such protectionist policies will only harm the sustainability of the US economic growth. Attracting top talent that generates ideas and drives innovation is key to the long term health of not only the US but the global economy."

​Many thanks to Ayşehan Jülide Etem, a great friend and an international filmmaker, who asked me the question, “Manuj, what do you feel like when you can’t act and work freely like other Americans around you?” while she was interviewing me for her upcoming documentary film. This question impassioned me so much that I decided to speak my mind.
(…and so did many others like me and Julide) freely in her movie “Will Work For Words”."
Manuj Jindal, a comment on Forbes
